[gentoo-user] Keyboard hangs after wake up from hinernation

[meino.cramer]

Hi,

I run my IBM model M keyboard (1987 :) via a Belkin USB->PS2
converter.

This results in a problem

   Sometimes after wakeup from supsend to disk (supend to RAM is not
   check yet) the keyboard "hangs": All LEDs are flashing and not key
   is accepted. "Power cycling" via USB plug helps. I am using
   sys-power/hibernate-script for hibernation. I listed the usb-ohci
   as module wich gets unloaded/loaded while hibernation/wake-up in
   /etc/hibernate/common.conf which helps in most but not all cases.


Since power cycling the keyboard help: Is there a way to do this via
software/script when hibernate wakes the PC?

Thank you very much in advance for any help!

Best regards,
mcc

I don't think there's any way to physically power off the device, but
maybe you can use USB power management to suspend it and then turn it
back on? It'll still technically have power the whole time but, who
knows, maybe it'll work for your case?
